Film music

[bobmac]

Thinking back to some of the great film scores, some are still as recognisable today as they were 10/12/30 years ago.
Has that changed ?
For instance, can you sing the theme music for any of the modern films like Harry Potter ?
I'll bet most of you can still hum the tunes from the Bond films, Star wars/Trek and Raiders etc.

So what's your favourite film music from the more recent years?

Not a great one for films these days but I thought the music in the Lord of the Rings trilogy was fantastic.

I would have to say, and these are pretty much based on musical genre, the sound track compilation to the football hooliganism film 'Away Days' is superb.

As a huge Joy Division fan I found the Soundtrack to the biopic 'Control' was superb. The track 'Atmosphere' for the closing credits fitted perfectly.

This. Incredible score.

Also that Harry Potter scores are amazing too and the Theme is instantly recognisable.

I totally agree. I liked the soundtrack to the film Local Hero but the music I really like is the incidental music for Dr Who especially things like Rose's music

 

[Smiffy]

The Big Country. Love it. Watched it on telly this afternoon and that intro always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. A great western score. Have I mentioned I love a good western? Especially John Wayne films. I loved John Wayne.

 

[Achilles]

I'm a massive fan of film scores and have stacks on my iPod. Cannot get enough of Hans Zimmer's work - Gladiator, The Dark Knight, The Rock and Inception to name a few of my favourites. Lord of the Rings is also epic. Captures the atmosphere perfectly in my eyes (or should that be ears)!

last of the mohicans
Reservoir Dogs
